When I lived in Vegas my friend Jenn and I made a trip to the Viva Las Vegas Stamp store. I had heard of them for a while but never wanted to go alone. Jenn and I spent a saturday together and went to check them out. I got this "Holy $@&%balls, You're Awesome" stamp. The word is actually spelled out on the stamp, which is why it makes so perfect. I also love a little humor with my cards, as I don't have many humorous stamps. I use this one sparingly, and only on cards for people I know who won't be offended.
I made this card just to have in my stash, I was playing with the stamp after I made hubby's anniversary card. I like how this came out. It's "pretty" but "raunchy" and that's how I like my women (yes, I'm Bi--get over it, you liked me before I just told you). HAHA.
I'm putting this card behind a jump break because of the language. Please click to see card.
So this is the card in all it's shitty glory. What do you think? I wanted a kind of girly card that I could give to a female at any time I needed it. This card is in my stash box, but I think I've found the perfect person to give it to, finally!
I wanted quite a bit of dimension to the sentiment, so I used 3 layers under it. I die cut 2 of the larger pieces and inked the edges and then I stamped one of my fancy stamps and used the matching punch to punch it out and then I stamped and punched out the sentiment and put it on the fancy piece.
To make it more girly I added some lace. I wove some grosgrain ribbon in between each hole, because the lace and the ribbon each just made the card too plain on their own. I'm known for ribbon weaving so I went back at it. I added 3 pretty white pearls to the bottom and that completed the card.
I hope you like this card and find it as awesome as I do. I have more crafts to share, so check back soon.
Keep on Craftin'
